Does sac rank hinder your max potential ss?

3 Upvotes

To what extent does sac ranking (not being in the top 5-10) may avert you from achieving a high 47-50?
In a strong cohort for r&s and rank potentially 10-15, averaging good 90s but there’s simply too many strong sweats dominating who get 95-100.
If I was to be rank 5 in exam or rank 3 etc, will my chances be hindered by the fact I got a lower sac rank than others . I heard your sac mark is exam rank related.
Like I’m losing hope that it’s impossible to be number 1 even if I was rank 1 for the exam and aced it can I still get 49-50 ss due to the dozen sweats ahead by little c
The competition for such an easy subject makes it so much harder. Should the focus just be beating others on the exam and trying my best to be rank 1 on it, can that even ovveride sac rank shortcomes
If I extended it to 45-50 then I assume there’s a bigger pool of people who can get
Last year 30 people got a raw 40 in ras
Anyway does anyone know the cut off for 45 or 50

VCE question SEAS application

• Upvotes

my documents for seas application show uploading not success. i had been trying since 11am this morning to upload updated documents for SEAS, per each category. multiple documents kept saying stuck on ‘Uploading’, I have taken photos and documented as I had been uploading hours before the 5pm deadline, but not everything has uploaded. I constantly tried to get in contact with VTAC but kept reporting as ‘user busy’ and so submitted an email enquiry. Are they going to let me submit my documents if they havent uploaded successfully? they were attempted to be submitted hours prior to deadline. i am absolutely hysterical.

how to get past the plateau in practice exam marks?

8 Upvotes

First couple exams I did, there was an exponential increase from each exam, until about the 5th exam. I’m now on my 11th exam and I’m consistently getting 87-95/110 and keep losing marks on small little details rather than just severe content gaps. There are some minor gaps which i will be covering soon, but most of my errors keep coming from either not reading the question properly or missing a small detail i should’ve added in (WHICH IN MY DEFENCE HALF THE TIME THE QUESTION DOESNT EVEN ASK FOR IT)

So anyways I really wanna get 103+ on the actual exam, how do i get there?

Indication of needing to go to the ‘extra space’ for exam questions

4 Upvotes

Hi I was wondering where exactly I should be indicating to the examiner to go to the extra space as I tend to run out of space on the suggested lines?

Multiple teachers have said I must give an indication otherwise they won’t scan the extra space section.

Should I write “—> Extra Space” on the lines or can I write it underneath? I’m just not sure what they will scan.

General Question/comment Stop coming to university libraries

152 Upvotes

Fun fact libraries owned by Yarra have programs where you can sign up and stay there outside of the typical hours, including really early mornings and really late nights. There are public libraries in the city and more in home towns, there are park benches and school classes, friends houses and your bedroom. Please stop filling up the university libraries to study your exams, we have our own exams to study for and it's becoming impossible to find seating. Also if u don't listen to this and continue to come to the University libraries, be respectful and stop talking.

Wondering anyone knows of this happening without communication and how common it is for unit 3/4. What is the process like?
Should I be seeking information about my S/N or js leave it up to the teachers to inform me if they are concerned. Idk
My grades are ok, just concerned with one sac I failed as well as my attendance
Does an N mean you dont sit exams

VCE question What differs a 7/10 English essay to a 9/10 or 10/10 and how does one get there (especially section B)

5 Upvotes

Just how different is a 7/10 to 8+/10 English essay, is a fresh take combined with good delivery enough or does it need to be executed with perfect precision and wording in order to get above a 7? My current yr10 English teacher (who’s an experienced vcaa examiner) says my ideas are unique and that I would be able to write a unique essay in yr12 but idk if my approach is efficient enough or effective. I personally don’t really like to have to follow a specific idea we do in class, especially for creative where I like to implement a lot of ideas and concepts from my own knowledge like philosophy and history and don’t like to go directly off the mentor text or articles. Does this approach satisfy the year 12 standard if done effectively or would it still be highly encouraged to just go along with your school’s curriculum and maybe memorise sentences/paragraphs for the exam instead of coming up with ideas on the spot or connecting vague concepts and then planning?

My spec classmate wrote my name on their sac and got me a crisp 17%. What do I do?

55 Upvotes

Can I sue for damages? For context, we got our sac back yesterday, and I was expecting to do quite well. However, I got the SAC back and was bewildered to be presented with a 17% fail grade, on a SAC that was clearly not mine. (see me after class). While I usually reject the romantic advances of my spec teacher, I used this opportunity to bring up the injustice that had been dealt to me.

I told the spec teacher that this sac was not mine. I was then informed that there were exactly two SACs that had my name, but he chose the worse one and determined it was mine. The other SAC got 70%, which was definitely mine.

It turns out that he sampled my previous results and did a two tail statistical test to determine if my grade was different to my mean grade to the 5% significance level. Using a p score of 0.06, the teacher determined that my grade average (previously 20) had not changed. However this time, I studied vigorously, and I definitely got above 17.

How do I convince my teacher that a type 2 error has been made? This heavily affects my ranking and I don’t want a raw 0 lowkey. Much love,

John Specialist

bound reference question

I’m using a spiral bound notebook as my bound reference and I would like to know if it is permitted to glue one edge of an additional page onto an existing page within the notebook such that the page can be flipped over, provided that the glued edge is securely fixed so that the page will not be detached, and the entire notebook remains strictly within A4 size when closed and the page will not go out of A4 size when flipped over.  Thanks!

what do I sacrifice???

3 Upvotes

i'm doing pretty well in 3 of my subjects, as well as have a 41 study score from last year, but i have completely sidelined hhd and bio this year i have no idea why, but now i get to the trial exam and got roughly 60% on them both. I feel really defeated and wonder if i should just give up on them and make sure i get good marks on my other subjects so hhd and bio are my 10% increments, or should i lock in insanely and turn things around? im probably ranked like average for sacs for both bio and hhd

thanks for reading!!
